A bond certificate
A bond certificate issued via the South Carolina Consolidation Act of 1873. How the sale of a bond is recorded on a company's books depends on how the debt is initially classified by the acquiring investor. Debt securities can be classified as "held-to-maturity," a "trading security," or "available-for-sale. "
